Job description
Director of the Western Ile-de-France Division (M/F)
October 14, 2025
Joining this organization means contributing, every day, to making the lives of people with complex disabilities more dignified, more fluid, and more inclusive, from early childhood to adulthood, by combining education and care, respect for rights, and co-construction with families. Recognized for its ability to innovate and respond to emerging needs, it deploys its projects at the heart of demanding regional dynamics, in close collaboration with supervisory authorities and partners, with a clear ambition: to transform support without ever compromising on well-being.
Your mission is to embody and lead a regional division covering Yvelines and Hauts-de-Seine, bringing together several establishments and services (outpatient care, outsourced services, accommodation) and engaged in a pivotal phase of restructuring. You will establish clear governance for the division, support facility directors, secure a significant budgetary trajectory, and lead structural projects: capacity expansions, ramp-up of new units, relocation of a developing service, stabilization and acculturation of a facility recently taken over after organizational weaknesses. You will guarantee a high level of quality and compliance, implement the recommendations resulting from evaluations, and modernize tools and organization towards a platform-based approach, in order to provide more continuous care pathways.
This is a golden opportunity because everything is in place: a public service mission, a rich and comprehensive scope, and a decisive moment when your leadership can change the collective scale. You are arriving at just the right time to consolidate what has been built, accelerate what needs to be accelerated, and give the hub a clear and unifying identity. You will orchestrate internal consistency, development momentum, and institutional representation. Here, impact is not a promise: it is at stake in every arbitration, every regional alliance, and every management decision that protects teams and secures support.
The ideal candidate will combine vision with operational strength: a Level I degree (CAFDES, Master's or equivalent) and proven experience in managing a large institution or multiple sites, with a detailed understanding of disabilities (multiple disabilities, autism, neurodevelopmental disorders) and proven ease in communicating with authorities and institutional partners. We are looking for someone who is structured, clear, and committed, capable of combining rigorous management, a sense of community, and humanity; a leadership style that is both calming and firm, someone who knows how to make decisions, arbitrate, support, and drive change without causing damage. You prioritize, simplify, and stay the course, even in a context of HR tensions and social dialogue that needs to be reconfigured.
If this sounds like you, you will earn a rare position: responsibility for a territory, influence as a member of the management team, and a career path where your ability to structure, unite, and transform will be fully visible. You will find a field where your conviction becomes a lever, where your interpersonal skills open up high-level partnerships, and where your high standards build sustainable projects that serve individuals and families.
Position based in Versailles (78).
